Bonfire

Bonfires are refuge points in Dark Souls 2. Players resting at a Bonfire are immune to attack so long as they begin resting at a reasonable distance from enemies. Resting at a Bonfire allows a player to restore all lost HP and automatically refill their Estus Flask.

Bonfires are also a mode of fast travel. players may move between Bonfires at will and without penalty.

Bonfires may be used to kindle Torches. Players may also burn certain items in Bonfires to achieve effects. Bonfires serve as access points for Item Box drops.

Due to the lack of a pause feature in Dark Souls 2, Bonfires are an integral point for players to take a break from play.
